		<description><![CDATA[Aristo&#039;s Decry Aristo&#039;s ?

Clearly the individual writing this article must be of that self-same storied group who has never actually had to survive out there in the real world on a minimum wage - which equals a complete bean diet or don&#039;t eat at least one day a week. Rent in this day and age ? Forget it. 
Without raises in minimum wages - people would still be making 75-85 cents an hour in many parts of the country   -- Believe it or be foolish. I remember it well - but at least it was still possible to rent a one room apartment for 135$ monthly.

Clearly this article was written by someone who more than likely  lives at home with parents covering housing -- and even more clearly imagines THEY  will never have to will never deal with this - being much too valuable.
   Here&#039;s a tip - you are far less valuable than you imagine. 
Thank goodness some people are thinking of such 
things...
    Free Market  indeed - it would be funny if it were not so sad.

		<description><![CDATA[Stupid? It&#039;s very simple: 

Higher minimum wage = fewer people that can be hired for the same amount of money
Fewer hires = more people on the dole
More people on the dole = more people desperate to protect the dole
More people desperate = more votes for Democrats

Win!]]></description>

Fiendishly clever, and I must say it&#039;s working.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s another one of those cases where, to be a decent human being, I want to believe these are people who mean well, but are mistaken about means but . . . it&#039;s . . . can they genuinely be that stupid? Is it worse to believe that they&#039;re that stupid, or that they fully intend to wreak economic chaos?]]></description>
